About Me

Currently in France where I am doing a workaway. I am from the tiny British island that is Jersey, I have previously been away travelling on two separate occasions throughout Asia and New Zealand and am now traveling through Europe.

Being an athletic person I have great interests in outdoor activities and sports, which I look to pursue whilst on the road. I like to spend my time being energetic and just generally messing around and being stupid, can't take things too serious ay'. I also have a desire to learn another language (preferably French or Spanish) and just be able to experience various cultures and ways of life's.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on couch surfing because I see it as the perfect opportunity to see and experience an area from a local point of view, which hopefully would give me more of connection with the Country/City/Town. But most importantly it will allow me to meet people who are living in the area and hopefully get an insight in to their life's and be able to make lasting friendships.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Party the night away under the stars with the locals of Apo Island, Philippines ... Too much of a long story to explain but it was amazing!!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can definitely teach you a thing or two about sport, more importantly football (Soccer whatever you call it). Sorry if that doesn't float your boat.

I can share my passion about music and my endless hunt on trying to discover new artists.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A proper conversation (Most important thing in my books!) as well as; a good sense of humour, happiness, knowledge (Well I think!!), a drinking partner, my experiences and an open mind!
